Sam Delaney's Journey: From Chaos to Clarity

But I try to sort of also focus on an ability to take pleasure out of sometimes just not doing stuff all the time.
Ever wondered how someone juggles a chaotic upbringing, a high-pressure career, and addiction? Jason Flemyng sits down with Sam Delaney, a journalist, broadcaster, and podcaster, who has seen it all. From writing for Heat magazine to his lively appearances on morning TV, Sam's life has been anything but ordinary. In this episode of 'More Than My Past', Sam opens up about his tumultuous childhood where drink and drugs were never far away, leading to a breakdown in 2015.
With his signature relatable and irreverent style, Sam shares his journey through the stresses of fatherhood, career pressures, and addiction. Now, he offers advice on tackling addiction and mental health issues through his newsletter and podcast, 'The Reset'. Tune in for a candid chat that covers the language of recovery, the importance of sobriety in the entertainment industry, and finding balance in life.
